Defense and ST won the game for us Sunday. Stats are there for reason. He never even made it to Probowl which would mean he's good. And I don't mean as a 5th alternate.

Wins are not attributable to just the QB. My ship is your ship. Nothing wrong with wanting more from the players and not hyping them up over nothing. Joe's stats the past 3 years are average.

1. LOL ST won us the game? Really? Serious question... did you actually watch the game? Let me guess... we blocked a FG, so we had a good day on ST? 

I guess you missed the numerous ST penalties (mostly of the bonehead variety) and the fumbled punt return. Were those good or bad things for the ST and the team as a whole? ST was easily the worst its been in three games so far this season against Jacksonville, and I don't even think its close. ST was the key reason we beat Buffalo... it was only a small piece of why we beat Jacksonville.

2. Implies that teams pay QBs for stats, despite the fact that you've got countless examples of multiple teams in the entire league who DON'T do this. If you really think teams pay QBs for stats, I'd strongly suggest you spend a few hours doing some research. I don't think you understand what the QB market is and why teams pay what they pay for QBs. 

3. Quite literally nobody cares about Pro Bowls. No reasonable person thinks it has anything to do with on-field performance or the measurement of a players value. Its a glorified popularity contest that fans are allowed to vote on. Anything where fans are allowed to vote has little to nothing to do with quality of players.

Very lazy analysis.
